As the saying goes, "Data is the oil of the 21st century," data has become an important resource that drives various services and products around us, just like oil.
In recent years, rather than enclosing data within the confines of a single company or research institute, it has become an interchangeable resource that is gaining prominence as a source of new innovation in the creation of cross-sectoral value.
The circulation of such data connects various people, objects, technologies, and services, creating new functions and properties, and creating a complex and orderly ecosystem. These activities cannot necessarily be understood as the simple sum of individual businesses and services, and new approaches and technologies are needed to understand and create this new ecosystem.
Hayashi Laboratory is working on the following research projects to understand the dynamics of data ecosystems and to support data design to elucidate the "activities surrounding people and data."
- Understanding the dynamics of data ecosystems and institutional design
- Digitization of unobserved events with tailor-made data design support
- Creation of heterogeneous data linkage and analysis models
- Sensing of information digestion and value deepening in crossover sphere
The aim is to create a new paradigm for data in a data distribution society by elucidating the dynamics of systems through the interaction of various things, such as people, computers, and the environment, designing systems, and supporting the collection, digitization, and decision-making process of data according to the purpose.
